Plan
Bogard/Seldon Corridor Access Management Plan
Plan Overview
The Matanuska-Susitna Borough (MSB) and Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (ADOT&PF) are planning for important safety improvements along the Bogard/Seldon Road Corridor over the next 20+ years. The Bogard-Seldon Corridor Access Management Plan was adopted by the Assembly on August 5, 2025 in MSB Code Ordinance 25-054 after an extensive public engagement process. The plan outlines changes to how driveways and streets connect into Bogard or Seldon Roads (between the Glenn Highway and Church Road) using a strategy called "Access Management".
This CAMP will have immediate impacts on the development of properties by guiding access locations. Over time, as funding is available, roadway improvements to the corridor will be completed by either the Borough or the State, depending on road ownership. It may take many years to accomplish all of the recommendations in the CAMP.

Plan Justification
The Bogard/Seldon road corridor is an important east/west connector in the MSB. It provides a different option than taking the Parks Highway or the Palmer-Wasilla Highway. Accidents and travel delays on busy roads like Bogard/Seldon Roads can be reduced by carefully planning where cars can get on and off the main arterial.
Over time, this 13 mile corridor has experienced significant population growth and land development. More driveways and side streets (also known as access points) have been added, and traffic has increased. Without an access management plan in place, the MSB has not had the tool needed to organize existing or new access points to meet the needs of this arterial. As a result, we are now facing safety issues and traffic congestion. Community members are requesting improvements.
The goal is to reduce crashes and improve traffic flow, making it safer and easier for people to use the road corridor.
